About this study

Personalized treatment approaches and antiplatelet drug choice have been proposed to optimize safety of coronary stenting by reducing heart attacks and repeat interventions while simultaneously minimizing adverse bleeding events. This study compares the efficacy of two laboratory guided treatment algorithms to personalize antiplatelet medication choice after coronary stenting

Being tested
Prasugrel, Clopidogrel
Medical subject headings
Thrombosis, Coronary Artery Disease

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PrasugrelDrug

    Prasugrel 60mg loading dose at time of PCI if clopidogrel non-responder

  • ClopidogrelDrug

    Clopidogrel 300mg loading dose at time of PCI if clopidogrel responder

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Thrombelastography (TEG) MA

    Persistence of high tensile clot strength measured by TEG 16-24 hours after reloading of either clopidogrel or prasugrel

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With Ischemic Events

    Death, recurrent myocardial infarction, recurrent unstable angina, repeat coronary intervention

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Number of Participants With Bleeding Events

    Major or Minor Bleeding according to TIMI criteria

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prasugrel and Clopidogrel in people with Thrombosis and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Indiana University at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Apr 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Thrombelastography (TEG) MA (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Apr 2018.
